COACHES´ REACTIONS
Ľubomír Líška (SVK): „It was a tough game on a tough day. Of course, the game against America took a lot out of us, but on the other hand, it made us want to win even more, and we showed it, because the guys fought hard and gave 110 percent, and the victory came. I'm glad we succeeded. Our goalie played excellently, but really every player did their job at 110%, and thanks to that, we won. We are looking forward to tomorrow.“
Vít Čapek (CZE): “We did not have a good start to the game, we were close to conceding, but then we scored. I think we took control of the game, but in the end Slovaks showed more heart than us. We lost the game ourselves.”
